Best VRBO property ever
We've stayed in probably 30 different VRBO properties through the years, but both my wife and I would rate this No. 1 - at least for what we're looking for. It was peaceful, serene, in a quiet neighborhood, but still close to all the amenities. The garden out back is wonderful, and place is clean, updated, and interesting. We were even treated to a couple jars of homemade granola from our hosts, who were lovely! We'll be back. ...

The perfect home-away-from-home
We stayed three weeks in this lovely and well-appointed and very comfortable cottage. Our visit was planned to spend time with family and to explore Portland, and the location was perfect for our needs. We could easily get to our family on the Washington side of the river and to another branch in northwest Portland. And we enjoyed many walks to and around Mount Tabor—such a wonderful city park! The cottage is nicely private, spacious, and very well appointed. We were very comfortable there and highly recommend the Garden Cottage for people needing a great place to stay.

Captivating Serenity
The cottage is a charming space filled with many captivating items within its walls, giving us a desire to better know the owners. It was thoughtfully supplied to meet all our needs and beyond - even a delicious homemade granola. This home in the Tabor Neighborhood further met our personal needs 1. to be near our daughter's home (only 7 blocks away) and 2. to be accessible for our son and his wheelchair. It is situated in the tranquil and enchanting garden behind the owner's home - such a lovely setting to sit with a cup of tea and drink in the peace & joy. The owners themselves, Diane & Charlie, were attentive, available, thoughtful, and a delight to meet. Thank you, Diane & Charlie, for our delightful stay.

Convenient Location, Great Hosts!
We appreciated the ability to pop in and out with such a convenient location to explore Portland. There are eclectic details throughout, and the hosts have thought of all amenities you might need for your stay. The garden just outside the cottage door is lush and peaceful. The accommodations were perfect- like a home away from home.

serene garden cottage
We loved this property. The backyard garden setting was very serene. The cottage was comfortable, very well decorated and appointed (even many spices, coffee, tea, baggies, etc etc.) and good lighting and wifi. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The hot tub was especially nice after long days hiking. Highly recommend.

Wonderful cottage
This was a beautiful property and courtyard with all that I needed and lots of peace. I did not realize that the property is connected to the owners home rather than a standalone. This did not seem to make a difference because it was a very quiet setting. I hope To stay again

Very nice interior and garden outside. Responsive hosts. Clean and well stocked with towels and kitchen items. Close to park and restaurants. Main complaint is partially on me: it was advertised as sleeping 4 and I even asked about bed sizes, but, ultimately, its one queen and one double bed were only sufficient for 3, even when two of the 4 of us were children. Listing should say "sleeps 3." Also the cottage is very close to the host house and a lot of curtains will need to be drawn if you want privacy. If you have less than 4 and don't mind host proximity, this is a prime spot!
